Fused Indian Chicken Rice


How come your dewali be without some good food. I was experimenting of fusing Mid East and South East Asia with some Indian flavor and to create a dish which is fast to cook. SO here you go a chicken-rice dish (as you call in Singapore) or a biriyani in India or mid east which takes about 30mins to cook!!!




You need –


1. Small whole dressed chicken(about 800 Gm)
2. 2 small onion
3. 1 Tomato
4. 1 small capsicum
5. Half a cup of yogurt
6. ½ lemon

Easy Marine water tank setup

As you know that there is quite lot of market hype about the setup of a marine tank and how to maintain it. The way it is portrayed that its very difficult to create and maintain a beautiful marine aquaria. My experiment was to create a low cost low tech easy to keep marine aquaria where most of the habitat is from the Mother Nature and not to destroy the nature by acquiring resources from Coral Reef.


I am going to now elaborate on how I have done it.


I have used my freshwater aquarium instead of buying a new one. I took out all the gravels water and all the metallic component in it. I gave away my freshwater fishes to one my friend (he will be a firs time aquarist) and then I stared buy my essentials –

Got a call on Sat night from my boss – asking me to login immediately as our nightly job which runs for about 4:30Hrs is running for more than 6hrss and still not half way through.

My first question was – what’s changed? No one seems to know. Looked into the last analyzed time for all the tables and it showed me the FRIDAY)Friday is our weekly off. I again looked into it , nothing popped up, suddenly I see a parameter change in the gather stat execution script, we tried to take a broad-brush approach and we tried to gather histogram on all index columns...
